mamajack is asking about interest in host plants for a co-op. I am just getting started so I need almost everything, including help in which plants would be best for my area for the butterflies in my area. Thanks.

Cool, a Red-Spotted Purple! Got any kind of cherry-type trees around anywhere? They also can use willows, I think.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

Oh...and were you the wanting a Hop Tree? I'd be happy to let you have one!

Okay, I'll bring it. We'll just have to wait and see if this site is still going tomorrow. All is in the hands of the lawyers now, I guess. Would be nice if we get at least a reprieve.

Ken....I would think you would have about the same butterflies that we do in DFW, so look at the Dallas Co. Lep. Soc. website. www.dallasbutterflies.com
Over to the left is a link called "butterfly gardening" and Dale has a huge list of butterflies and what their host plants are. It is a great site.
